Happy New Year! I’m baaaaack. After a long hiatus from posting here at Paleo Spirit, I’m back with my favorite kale salad of all time and a big announcement. But before getting to all that I’d like to explain why I’ve been gone for SO long. This past year has been super busy. I was working full-time in [...]Read More

This is the year I finally learned to love winter. In Texas the seasons are: almost summer, summer, still summer and Christmas. So my first winter spent in the northeast U.S., those many years ago, was a shock to my system mixed with wonder and joy at the novelty of the abundant snow. That year the [...]Read More

Just down the street from our home lies a lovely, family-owned Christmas Tree farm.

“It might choke Artie, but it ain’t gonna choke Stymie!” The entire time I was making this dairy-free spinach-artichoke dip the above line was going through my head.
